Current through Register No. 13, March 27, 2025
(a) A source control plan required by Env-Wq
1503.11(f) shall be designed to:
(1) Minimize
the volume of stormwater and runoff that can contact regulated substances;
and
(2) Segregate relatively clean
stormwater and runoff from stormwater and runoff that has a higher
concentration of pollutants.
(b) The owner of a site from which stormwater
will discharge that requires an NPDES permit as defined under
40 CFR
122.26 may submit a stormwater pollution
prevention plan (SWPPP) to meet the requirements of this section for a source
control plan if such SWPPP also identifies:
(1) The location(s) of groundwater protection
areas, if any, within 1,000 feet of the site perimeter; and
(2) Procedures and practices to protect
groundwater quality.
(c)
The source control plan may exclude the items described in (e)(2) through
(e)(10), below, if the plan demonstrates that the site is designed in a manner
that will prevent the exposure of regulated substances to precipitation or
runoff, taking into account the possibility of accidental spills.
(d) The source control plan may exclude the
items described in (e)(3) through (e)(10), below, if the plan covers only a
commercial parking lot where the only regulated substance exposed to rainfall
or runoff is road salt that has been applied for deicing of pavement on the
site, provided that snow and ice management will be done by a commercial
applicator certified under Env-Wq 2200.
(e) A source control plan shall consist of:
(1) An overview of how source controls,
including structural or operational management practices, will prevent or
minimize the amount of regulated substances from mixing with clean
stormwater;
(2) A plan showing the
location(s) of snow storage areas;
(3) A list of regulated substances expected
to be present on the site in quantities of 5 gallons or more;
(4) The location(s) of groundwater protection
areas, if any, within 1,000 feet of the site perimeter;
(5) A plan depicting the drainage area with
exposed regulated substances and the location(s) of stormwater management
systems or discharge point(s) serving those areas, including latitude-longitude
point(s) of the practice or discharge point(s) to within plus or minus 5 meters
of the practice or discharge point;
(6) The location(s) and containment method(s)
to be employed for storage of regulated substances;
(7) A plan depicting the location(s) where
regulated substances will be handled, including the storage, loading and
unloading, transportation, or conveyance of any raw material, intermediate
product, finished product, by-product, or waste product;
(8) A description of spill prevention and
control or containment measures;
(9) A list of the phone numbers and mailing
addresses of the owner of the facility; and
(10) A program of training to familiarize
employees with the plan and to ensure its implementation.
(f) The owner of a site for which a source
control plan is required shall:
(1) Update
the source control plan as necessary to reflect changes in the storage of
regulated substances;
(2) Submit
the updated source control plan to the department whenever it is updated;
and
(3) Certify once every 3 years
that the site is in compliance with its permit with respect to the
implementation of its source control plan, by submitting to the department a
completed and signed Source Control Plan Certification Form dated
2017.
(g) The owner shall
provide the following information and certifications on the Source Control Plan
Certification Form required by (f), above:
(1) The AOT permit number;
(2) The town or city in which the project is
located;
(3) The name and title of
the individual who has been authorized to sign the form on behalf of the
owner;
(4) The mailing address,
telephone number including area code, and email address of the authorized
individual;
(5) The date of the
plans that were originally approved as part of the AOT permit and the date of
the most recent amendment of such plans, if any;
(6) The date of the originally-approved
source control plan and the date of the most recent revision of such plan, if
any;
(7) As applicable,
certification that:
a.No changes have occurred
in the storage, handling, or use of regulated substance or to the structural or
non-structural controls as described in the most recently-approved source
control plan;
b.Activities that
expose regulated substances to precipitation or runoff that were not identified
in the most recently-approved source control plan are now occurring, and:
1.An updated source control plan was
submitted to the department, with the date of such submission; or
2.An updated source control plan is attached
to the certification; or
c.There are no longer any activities on the
property that expose regulated substances to precipitation or runoff and so a
source control plan is no longer required; and
(8) Certification that:
a.The information provided on or otherwise
submitted with the certification form is true, complete, and not misleading to
the knowledge and belief of the signer; and
b.The signer understands that if the
information is untrue, incomplete, or misleading, the signer is subject to the
penalties specified in New Hampshire law for falsification in official matters,
currently RSA 641.
